I provide face-to-face and online psychotherapy sessions through internet-based video platform (ZOOM).
Fees
Fees are available on request and are provided prior to booking appointments. I provide a limited number of sessions each week with reduced fees for Concession Card holders..
Referral process
You may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $128.40 with a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). You can obtain a MHCP from your GP for up to 20 sessions each calendar year (between 1 January and 31 December). All you need to do is go to your GP and give them the name of the psychologist you would like to see.
Therapeutic approaches
I utilize evidence-based approaches including Intensive Short Term Dyinamic Therapy (ISTDP), Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and SchemaTherapy.
What to expect
In your sessions I will carefully attend to your current life and what brings you to therapy. I will ask you to describe your emotional problem or the difficulties you are currently experiencing. Together we will explore the contributing factors to these difficulties and your emotional response. I will ask you to share your feelings with me and this can sometimes be challenging and painful. We will work at your pace and I will share my observations with you, which, at times, you may not agree with. I will encourage you to be an active participant in your therapy sessions and together we will work to get to the bottom of your problems.
Important considerations
I don't provide medico-legal assessments and reports
